About

Dharmveer Agarwal is a pioneering researcher in the field of microrobotics, with a focused expertise in nonprehensile magnetic micromanipulation for biomedical applications. His work centers on developing automated, image-guided robotic tools capable of precisely maneuvering large microscopic biological objects—on the order of hundreds of microns—in challenging fluid environments. Agarwal’s major contribution lies in creating feedback-based manoeuvre planners that enable the controlled manipulation of cells and biological specimens without direct physical contact, even in the presence of ambient fluid flows. His most cited paper, “A feedback-based manoeuvre planner for nonprehensile magnetic micromanipulation of large microscopic biological objects” (2021), has garnered 17 citations, reflecting its significance in advancing automated cell handling. In his earlier foundational work, “A Robotic Tool for Magnetic Micromanipulation of Cells in the Presence of an Ambient Fluid Flow” (2019), he introduced a novel tool employing ferromagnetic microrobots to achieve precise, non-contact manipulation. Agarwal’s research bridges robotics, microfluidics, and biology, offering transformative potential for single-cell analysis, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. His achievements underscore a commitment to solving complex micromanipulation challenges, making him a notable contributor to the future of automated biomedical microsystems.
